About this artwork
Black Jesus is one of 2 Last Supper prints (found objects) that Monaghan found discarded in the street in NYC's Upper Upper Westside neighborhood. Each piece was found within a month of the other. The original "Last Supper Flow" (not pictures here) was discovered first followed by Black Jesus. They are both done in the same style showing the energy and spirit world that exists around them and their apostles.

« My work is about finding what exists in the accidental or random, finding inspiration in the dance, and celebration of the practice. This is my making process. »
Todd Monaghan explores spontaneous intuition and the subconscious mind through 'flicking, spilling, dripping, and scraping' paint into multi-layered, textural, and immersive works. The American painter and sculptor's pieces are created through impulsive movements that welcome chance and experimentation. Monaghan does not paint using an easel, instead preferring to pin his canvases to the walls of his studio. He places them on the floor and back onto the walls, searching for new discoveries every time.
